Hey all,
Just a quickie that i thought i'd ask, i'm in the process of (hopefully) upgrading to 5 lugs sometime very soon, with a windsor (also hopefully) in the future.
I was at the flea market the other day, and i saw some of the old Ford aluminum slotted wheels, in decent shape. My dad had mentioned that they were probably out of round (something i will check), but since they are aluminum, i figured it would be worth asking if these are generally known to be crap rims or not. Obviously they're not the latest or greatest, but if they are known to be poor quality or something then i'll just keep saving. What are things to look for, other than roundness? Since the guy only wanted $100 for all four 15x7's, it would definitely make my upgrade that much easier.
Thanks for any help,
Chris
